Austin’s “Sparefoot” is an on-line company that lists self-storage units availability and rates, is adding 31 jobs to it’s employee base. I never knew such a service even existed! Also, this week, local advertising agency McGarrah Jesse landed the Whataburger account and will add 15 employees to handle the workload. For you out of staters, Whataburger is a San Antonio based hamburger “restaurant chain” that is very popular in these parts. The original Whataburger is still standing in Corpus Christie. They make a decent burger. Since the unemployment rate in the Austin metro area is about 4.7% I assume that the new talent will have to be imported, and then means good news for us residential real estate investors, as these folks will need housing.
